built an interactive guide to teach you the basics of mahjong ! 🀄

it includes rulesets from different regions (hk and taiwan for now) with a few interactive elements to illustrate mahjong concepts. more demos in thread, and a bit about the tools i used to build this.

the one thing this guide can’t really capture is how social mahjong is -- mahjong tables are never silent ! they’re full of overlapping conversations and the constant click-clack of acrylic tiles stacking and shuffling against each other. come to @modal's mahjong night tmrw to experience that part for yourself : )

It's 2026 and why are people still making non-searchable PDFs 😭

@K3N_LOW The joy of being 31 that our 21 selves couldn't fathom! I'm currently working in a local US company now in Colorado. Are you in KL or other state?

[yanying @yanying_]

@K3N_LOW Happy Birthday birthdate twin! Hope your 31 is filled with just good vibes and blessings!

[yanying @yanying_]

@K3N_LOW Nah nah. I'm in the US now! How's your 31 rocking?

Let me explain exactly why every new subdivision in America looks like the top photo, because the math is wild.

A mature tree increases a home's value by 7 to 19 percent. On a $400,000 house, that's $28,000 to $76,000. A single shade tree produces the cooling equivalent of ten room-size air conditioners running 20 hours a day. One tree on the west side of a house cuts energy bills by 12 percent within 15 years. The bottom photo is worth more, costs less to live in, and sells faster. This has been documented by the University of Washington, Clemson, Michigan State, and the USDA. The data is not in dispute.

Removing those trees saves the builder roughly $5,000 per lot. Concrete trucks need twice the dripline radius of every standing tree. Utility trenches need flat ground. A bulldozer flattens 200 lots in an afternoon. Preserving trees adds weeks and thousands per home.

So the developer pockets $5,000 in savings and the buyer eats $50,000 in lost value for the next two decades. The person making the decision and the person paying for it have never been in the same room.

The Woodlands, Texas is the proof of what happens when they are. George Mitchell bought 28,000 acres of Houston timberland in 1974 and preserved 28% as permanent green space. He forced McDonald's to build behind the tree canopy. That McDonald's became one of the highest-volume locations in Texas. The first office building, designed to reflect the surrounding forest so you couldn't see it from the street, leased completely.

The Woodlands median home price today: $615,000. Katy, a comparable Houston suburb that clear-cut: $375,000. Named #1 community to live in America two years running.

Fifty years of data. The trees are worth more than removing them saves. Developers clear-cut anyway because they sell the house once and leave. You live in it for 30 years.

Calling the Chinese New Year the Lunar New Year is not correct.

It’s not about being inclusive or exclusive; it’s just factually inaccurate!

Chinese New Year is not based on lunar calendar, it's based on Lunisolar calendar!

So, happy #ChineseNewYear2026, everyone!

Chinese New Year的争论有很多，但这个是爆杀。

[Zhao DaShuai 东北进修🇨🇳 Commentary @zhao_dashuai]

This is like calling Christmas "The Holidays".
Because non-Christians celebrate it too.

Chinese New Year is based on the Chinese Lunisolar calendar, NOT the lunar calendar.

These people spend 364 days of the year denying Taiwan is a part of China. But on Chinese New Year, suddenly tries to claim our holiday as theirs, and attempt to change its name.

World peace is achieved by dudes being like this, soft racism and just having fun with everyone

Like, the gender hate posts is going waaaaaaay overboard. I felt like just uninstalling X every time I hop on it.

[yanying @yanying_]

Damn, I really hate my X algorithm right now but I don't wanna delete my long time twitter account. I'd no idea how to clean reset it. 😭😭😭
